"Great Muscadet in a bottle"

"This 2014 seduces with its intense nose, divided between smoky and yellow fruit aromas. The palate develops the same aromas, enriched with riper notes of peach and apricot. A mineral finish brings three-dimensional depth." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) A complex and striking bottle, clearly made for the table!

Wine rated 17/20 (Reference wine)

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1 (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About wine:

This 2014 seduces with its intense nose, divided between smoky and yellow fruit aromas. The palate develops the same aromas, enriched with riper notes of peach and apricot. A mineral finish brings depth in three dimensions.

About the estate:

In Muscadet, Frédéric Lailler continues to forge ahead, using organic farming methods across the estate's ten hectares. The vineyards are of impressive quality (six hectares on the gabbros of Gorges and one hectare in the granite area of Clisson). The average age of the vines is around 65 years. Priced between €7 and €14, you'll need to hurry to build up a good stock in your cellar.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About wine:

A beautiful embodiment of the 2014 vintage, fresh and vigorous. A hint of gas will escape after decanting. Cool iodine flavors stimulate the nose and taste buds. Still energetic, it takes on honeyed notes as it evolves. Enjoy with a meal!

About the estate:

Frédéric Lailler kept the name of the estate in tribute to its former owner, Michel Brégeon, who in 2011 passed on his vines, averaging 65 years old, located in the Clisson (granite) and Gorges (gabbro) areas. Two communal crus are showcased in these flavorful, relaxed whites, whose dynamic richness makes them invigorating, a far cry from restrained Muscadets.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 92/100

Rated 3 (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About wine:

Produced from the Gorges Cru in Muscadet, this wine is now at maturity and demonstrates how well a great Muscadet can age, although it still has great potential for further development. It has lost some of its fruitiness but has gained a creamy, nutty quality. The acidity and freshness are still very much present.

Note and opinion by Mr. DOMINIQUE R. Published on March 17, 2021

A superb discovery! A little discreet on the nose when first opened, but much more aromatic the next day. On the palate, it is well-structured with good body, but you can tell that this bottle has not yet reached its peak. I'll be placing another order. The next bottle will be opened in a year or more... if I can resist the temptation to try another one!
